Dermal Fillers Specialist in Rolling Hills Estates, CA

The dermal fillers we use consist of a variety of natural and synthetic materials that have been carefully developed for injection into the skin. The most common filler we use is hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, joints, and connective tissue. This filler hydrates and plumps the skin as it retains water.

At Rolling Hills Dermatology Group, our expert medical practitioners administer dermal fillers to add volume to specific areas under the skin, creating a smoother, fuller appearance. Some fillers also stimulate the body’s production of collagen, providing structure and elasticity to the skin. Repeat treatments are generally needed over time as the body gradually absorbs the dermal fillers.

While dermal fillers are generally safe, there are potential side effects including redness, swelling, bruising, pain, and itching. More serious complications are rare but can include infection, scarring, changes in skin color, allergic reactions, or damage to blood vessels leading to tissue death. At Rolling Hills Dermatology Group, we ensure that all patients are fully informed of these potential risks and side effects, and we emphasize the importance of choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner for the procedure.

A common treatment area we see at our practice is the cheeks. As patients age, cheeks may lose their fullness. Our dermatologists skillfully augment the cheeks with fillers, enhancing facial balance and restoring a youthful appearance.

Fillers are also frequently used around the mouth area at Rolling Hills Dermatology Group. Our specialists can effectively soften the appearance of nasolabial folds – the deep creases running from the nose to the mouth corners – and marionette lines, the vertical lines extending from the mouth corners down to the chin.

Our dermatologists also specialize in using fillers to enhance the lips, creating a fuller, more defined pout and correcting any asymmetry or unevenness in lip shape. We understand that the chin area can also benefit from fillers. We expertly inject fillers into the chin to improve its projection and definition, harmonizing your facial profile.

The under-eye area or tear troughs is another area where our dermatologists effectively use fillers. We help reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles, providing a more rested, youthful look.

Our dermatologists use fillers in the temples to restore volume and address wrinkles on the forehead, such as horizontal lines and frown lines. This results in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Lastly, fillers can be used along the jawline at Rolling Hills Dermatology Group to create a more defined or balanced appearance. This can be especially beneficial for those who feel their jawline is weak or lacks definition.

At Rolling Hills Dermatology Group, Botox and dermal fillers are effective treatments for achieving a youthful appearance. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing specific muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, with results lasting 3-6 months. Fillers, composed of hyaluronic acid, collagen, or synthetic materials, restore lost facial volume, contour features, and smooth static wrinkles. They are also used for lip augmentation, softening creases, and improving recessed scars, with effects lasting 6 months to over a year, depending on the filler type and treatment area. Both treatments are carefully administered to ensure natural and refined results.

The choice between fillers and Botox depends on your individual needs and goals. Fillers are ideal for restoring volume and enhancing facial contours, while Botox effectively addresses wrinkles and lines resulting from muscle overactivity. At Rolling Hills Dermatology Group, our team of qualified healthcare professionals are ready to assess your needs and recommend the appropriate treatment or combination of therapies. We believe in helping our patients achieve their aesthetic goals with treatments that are tailored to their unique needs.

Generally, adults over 21, who are in good health and have a clear understanding of what our dermal filler procedures can and cannot achieve, are perfect candidates. Ideal candidates typically have healthy skin showing signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of facial volume. Those with specific facial imperfections, like under-eye hollows or lip asymmetry, can also greatly benefit from our dermal filler treatments.

Our dermal fillers are effective in addressing a variety of aesthetic concerns. From reducing wrinkles and fine lines, restoring lost facial volume, enhancing facial contours, to plumping up lips and correcting under-eye hollows, we provide tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of our patients. However, those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions such as active acne, open wounds, severe skin infections, allergies to any of the ingredients in the fillers, or a history of severe allergic reactions, may not be suitable candidates for the treatments we offer at Rolling Hills Dermatology Group.

Leading a healthy lifestyle is crucial for anyone interested in our dermal filler procedures. Excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and frequent sun exposure can affect the longevity of the results. The type of filler used and the patient’s individual metabolism will determine how often touch-up treatments are necessary.

Lastly, we believe it is crucial for our prospective patients to have realistic expectations about the results of dermal fillers. While they can significantly improve facial appearance, they won’t entirely alter your features, stop the natural aging process, or replace surgery. Therefore, it’s important for patients to understand that while dermal fillers can provide significant improvements, they are not a permanent solution and will require ongoing treatments to maintain results. At Rolling Hills Dermatology Group, we are committed to helping you maintain your youthful and vibrant appearance with our dermal filler treatments.
